Oaza spokoju i luksusu
Pros:

Niesamowity klimat tego miejsca, apartamenty nowoczesne i przestronne, bardzo zadbane. Przepyszne śniadania zamawiane z karty jak i bufet śniadaniowy, co niestety w Hiszpanii bardzo rzadko spotykam w hotelach - pyszna kawa bez której ciężko mi rozpocząć dzień. Basen podgrzewany i bardzo wygodne leżaki. Obsługa recepcji jak i restauracji na najwyższym poziomie. Oaza spokoju z bezpośrednim dostępem do morza przez piękny ogród. To miejsce nas zachwyciło.

Aanrader
Pros:

Top sfeer, je loopt via een prachtige tuin in een paar minuten naar zee en heel veel gezonde opties bij het ontbijt. Gratis yoga was ook echt een meerwaarde. Hier kom ik graag nog eens terug.

Cons:

Eerste dag was het wat druk bij het ontbijt maar de andere dagen hadden ze dit onder controle

Perfecta estancia en un entorno ideal en un Hotel que te hacen sentir como en casa
Pros:

El personal muy amable, profesional y cariñoso. El tamaño de la habitación muy amplio con una terraza con mobiliario de diseño y funcional cómodo. El desayuno muy bien presentado y variado. Un acceso a la playa ideal, la piscina con agua calentita todo y que no me pude bañar. Servicios de SPA y tratamientos pioneros

Cons:

Mi experiencia fue buenísima, nada que comentar, salvo que vine sin crema acondicionadora para mi pelo, y no había en la habitación pero fue comentarlo y me dieron mini tallas por lo que si este aspecto fue un punto que no me gusto, me lo solucionaron al momento

Fantastische tijd gehad.
Pros:

Ontbijt uitstekend, locatie top en alles erg schoon. Verwarmd zwembad top.

Cons:

Als ik iets moet benoemen: prijs moet niet hoger worden dan is de prijs/kwaliteit niet meer in balans. Maar nu is het perfect.

Lugnt och modernt hotell med närhet till stranden
Pros:

Fräscht modernt och lugnt hotell med härliga balkonger och fint poolområde. Trevlig personal. Bra gym. Nära stranden och strandpromenaden. Vattenkranar för dricksvatten i korridoren. Bra frukost.

Cons:

Wifi fungerade inte på någon av våra 4 telefoner. Dålig spegelbelysning i badrummet. Saknade skärbräda i köket. Hög ambition i restaurangen men tyvärr var många av rätterna ganska smaklösa och hade kunnat göras betydligt godare. Notera att man behöver bil eftersom det inte finns några direkta restauranger eller mataffärer i närheten av hotellet. Lätt att parkera på gatan.

Wonderful relaxing stay. Great location and good quality food and service.
Pros:

Lovely stay at the Flag hotel which is only a few years old. Staff were very helpful and friendly. It was a very peaceful setting. No music around the pool which was bliss. Very comfortable sun loungers. Pool was heated an a lovely temperature. Half board was good value and the food was great. Big shout out to Jose the chef who was fantastic and really looked after us. Paz, Camilla, and Laura from the restaurant team. Free yoga and pilates sessions were great too.
Excellent quality breakfast. Overall a very good stay - would definitely go back.
